Halo Infinite (they never go away and I like Season 3 so wanna kinda give a cookie to 343) and CoD but I’m not going to re-up season 3 unless something big happens.

I play numerous games with a battle pass but I don’t get a BP unless I know I’m gonna finish it.

Turns out you don’t have to engage with the paid aspect of live service games and you can still have as much fun given the gameplay is free.

Resident Evil 2 is survival horror, which is a genre that really only works by making the player have to worry about resources like ammo and meds. Otherwise you have just another zombie shooter which is fine, but not what Resident Evil original set out to be.

At least until you get more practiced at the game, anyway. It's very possible to kill every zombie in RE2 remake and still have tons of ammo left over by the end of it, even without relying on the infinite knife.

TLDR; It's not meant to be a shooter.

I think you're confusing or missing the actual point of the game. The limited ammo mechanic isn't just a difficulty modifier, it part of RE's DNA. That's how survival horror works. Now whether zombies should die with one headshot or not is probably a lore discussion. But I think it might just not be "your kind of game". As cliché as that might sound.

Personally, I have tried multiple times to play and enjoy Souls-Bourne games. But I just can't. Doesn't mean the games are bad or have dumb mechanics. It's just not a genre I enjoy. So I just watch other people finish them in ever more impossible ways.

There's a million games where you have effectively infinite ammo. The RE series specifically avoids this so that shooting everything isn't a viable option.

I think the idea is it gives you the option of getting it either physical or digital. Like others have said it's the same price as a normal Switch so I don't see the issue.
Allows you to get the console like a month before the game comes out as well, though depending on your patience maybe that's not a good things.
